The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
在那样的年纪,我会找任何借口做些估测或者小算术。我会计算油耗还有杂货花销等鸡毛蒜皮的小事。我听过一个有关吸烟的广告。我记不得细节了,但是广告大意是说,每吸一口香烟会减少几分钟的寿命,大概是两分钟。无论如何,我决定为祖母做个算术。我估测了祖母每天要吸几支香烟,每支香烟要吸几口等等,然后心满意足地得出了一个合理的数字。接着,我捅了捅坐在前面的祖母的头,又拍了拍她的肩膀,然后骄傲地宣称,"每天吸两分钟的烟,你就少活九年!"
通过正确的视角观察,平凡会变得非凡。
我喜欢与众不同,我不在乎别人是否喜欢。
"In literature, as in love, we are astonished at what is chosen by others."
We are like travelers who have lost their way; we must ask, each one, for directions from a passerby.
Je suis le saint, en prière sur la terrasse...
Stay hungry for knowledge, and you’ll never run out of opportunities.
